An act of kindness goes a long way

Ramadan is the holiest time of the year in Islam when Muslims all around the world abstain from food, drink and other physical needs for a month, from dawn until the sun sets.

In Lebanon, a local non-governmental organization (NGO) ‘Save the Grace’ started a helpful initiative during this period. It collects leftovers from restaurants and bakeries in downtown Beirut and delivers them to Syrian refugee families for their evening meal.
